Meat Cake day at work

Tue, 18 Dec 2007 21:37:23 GMT

Today we were very fortunate... a co-worker was generous enough to bake us a meat cake! Yes that is mashed potato icing, with red and green bellpepper decorations. Very festive.

Just in case you were wondering, meat cake is very tasty and quite satisfying. :)

HA! I stumbled across these pics on digg. I like how he keeps his screwdrivers inside the case.

Thomas and a Dragon...wow

Tue, 29 May 2007 13:50:54 GMT

So there I was, reading a book to my 2 year old when lo and behold, I discover one of the funniest pictures I have seen in quite some time.

The book: Thomas And A Dragon. A story about Thomas the tank engine, and his friends. Thomas delivers a paper dragon to a carnival...and apparently, he picks himself up a little treat of his own.

The picture: I saw this, started cracking up and knew I had to capture this for the world to see. I have not doctored this image in anyway. The profane "thing" that seems to be frightening Thomas is a little guy's hand. His very uncomortable looking hand.

Allow me to introduce you to my pig dogs.

We are getting a new fence at the house, so the need for walking these FAT dogs has increased. Luckily for you I happened to take my cell phone with me one of these times.

Now, these dogs are seriously fat. They are pretty old now, so we just kind of let them be. I don't know if the camera is going to be able to really portray the true-life scene, but trust me...fat!

The strangest thing is, that these dogs don't eat that much (I swear!). They share one medium sized bowl of dog food between them. They don't get any table scraps or a ton of treats. I just don't get it. One of my theories is that they have some how figured out how to get fat from drinking water...I don't know, just grasping at straws here.

The white dog is a Rat Terrier. This breed of dog is supposed to be small, energetic (maybe even "bouncey"), but ever since I got her she has been somewhat of a special-needs pet. The second night I owned her, she was barking all night long and then puked,pooped,or peed in my apartment (can't remember which) so I put her out on the balcony so I could clean up. That was when she decided to see if she could fly. All of the sudden there was no more barking. First thought, "ahhhhh, sweet silence". Second thought, "Oh #@#$ where did she go?!" I ran out to the balcony, looked down, and saw this little Rat Terrier laying there (just stunned, but I didn't realize it). From that day forward she start having seizures, so she has been on some kind of drug or another for years. (all of which have some kind of water retention, fatassedness side-effects I'm sure).

Now, the Beagle has no excuse except for the fact that it is a Beagle I guess. He is seriously hugetastic. When he walks he sounds like a pig. If you walk too fast he lays down on his side and refuses to move. Seriously...fatty.
The story on this guy is that we rescued him from the local animal shelter, and of course he had had some tragic story of bad previous owners. The result was a dog who eats weird stuff, not unlike a goat. If you were to catch him on the odd chance he is actually up moving around, you might be able to spy him munching grass in the yard. (?!!).

An intertaining side-note to this adoption, the Animal Shelter requires you to neuter animals you adopt, so between the time I adopted him, and the date for the neuteration he knocked up the Rat Terrier.

What can I say, I am awesome at pets.

What do the offspring look like you ask? Well the one puppy that was kept in the family, (my mother-in-law took him) is just as fat as, if not fatter than, his parents. Those are some good genes right there!

Here are some pics:

Robots and main page accessibility

Tue, 15 Nov 2005 06:00:00 GMT

On my quest towards e-stardom (aka a relevant and content-rich website), I realized that the navigation towards my older "news items" was somewhat lacking. My solution for this problem was to create a side bar menu that would contain all of the news item titles in descending date order (aka newest first).

A day or two after this change, I began to notice a positive side-effect to including all of these titles as links on the main page...The robots (spiders) were crawling all through my site! I'm not 100% sure, but I can't imagine how this increased indexing would hurt my chances of being returned in some search results.

In a possibly related subject, a Google search for 'Aaron Lynch' now returns this page in the top 10 search results (#6 as of this entry) and an MSN search returns www.AaronJLynch.com as #3!

Does anybody want my autograph?

UPDATE 1/25/06: Either Google has changed my ranking somehow, or my switch to BlogCFC has harmed my accessibility somehow. I now turn up on like page 5 or something terrible. Back to the drawing board!
